MP2 and Buster Keaton and Fatty Arbuckle "Out West"

Jackson Hole History Museum, Jackson, WY

Join MP2 as we take our "Out West" silent film shorts to the Jackson Hole History Museum! In this film showing, the Miller Porfiris Duo celebrates one of the most popular genres in film history. The Great Train Robbery, one of the very first silent films in existence, is known for innovative techniques and some of the first on-location filming. Out West is a 1918 American short comedy film, a satire on then-contemporary westerns, starring the comedic team of Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle, Buster Keaton, and Al St. John. Think of it as the very first “Blazing Saddles!” (This film has been edited to reflect the cultural sensitivities of today’s audiences) (run time: approx 40 mins)
